L.P. GAS INSTALLATION

Sonoma Gas Grills are set to operate with L.P. gas and come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note:

Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the grill or a replacement pressure regulator

nd hose assemblies specified by Sonoma).

his assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P.

cylinder. L.P. Cylinders are not included with the grill. L.P. Cylinders can be purchased separately at an independent

dealer.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.

L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylin-

der after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire

or possible injury.

The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for

connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1.

Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill

protection device, OPD, on it.)

The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders

of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, “Cylinders,

Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.”

L.P. TANK USE

• When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to insure proper

gas flow

. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas

is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply

. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak,

causing the safety device to activate, restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will

insure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.

• When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the “OFF” position.

• The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.

• The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion

or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.

• Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or

any other enclosed area.

• Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.

• Do not store a spare L.P. gas cylinder under or near the grill.

Gas Requirements

GENERAL INFORMATION

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be per-

formed at the installation site due to possible shifting during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly

being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell

of gas is detected.

BEFORE TESTING

Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.

Mix a solution of equal parts mild detergent or liquid soap and water.

TESTING

1. Turn off the burner control knobs.

2. Turn the top knob of the fuel supply cylinder counterclockwise (right to left) two (2) rotations to open.

3. Apply the soap solution to connections of the fuel supply assembly. If no soap bubbles appear, there is no gas leak. If

bubbles form at the connections, a leak is detected. If a leak is detected, immediately turn off the gas supply, tighten

any leaking fittings, turn gas on, and repeat steps 1-3.

4. Turn off the knob on the fuel supply cylinder.

5. Turn on the burner control knobs for a moment to release the pressure in the hose, then turn the control knobs back off.

6. Wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

Check all gas supply fittings before each use and each time the gas supply cylinder is connected to the regulator.

Have a qualified service technician leak test the grill any time a part of the gas system is replaced.

Also it is recommended to perform a leak test at least once a year whether or not the L.P. gas supply cylinder has been

disconnected.

NOTE: When leak testing this appliance, make sure to test and tighten all loose connections, including the side burner.

A slight leak in the system can result in a low flame, or hazardous condition. Most L.P. gas tanks now come equipped

with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank, when gas is allowed to escape rapidly, it shuts off the gas

supply. A leak may significantly reduce the gas flow making the grill difficult to light or causing low flames.

NOTE: If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas or the dealer you purchased

the appliance from. If necessary, replace the faulty part with the manufacturer’s recommended replacement

part.

A slight leak could cause a fire.

Pre Operation Leak Testing

BEFORE LIGHTING

Important! Before Lighting...

Check the gas supply line for cuts, wear or abrasion.

Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as

possible when lighting.

GRILL BURNER LIGHTING

Lighting the Grill with electronic igniter

1. Make sure all control knobs are in the “OFF” position.

2. Open the gas supply valve located on top of your L.P. tank.

ATTENTION: When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to

open the valve very SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to

insure proper gas flow.

3. Always open the hood before attempting to light.

4.Push and turn one of the control knobs counter clockwise

to the “HIGH” position and immediately press the electronic

igniter button. You will hear a snapping sound. It may be

Match Lighting

If by chance the electronic igniter does not light the burner,

the burner may be lit with a match attached to the match

extender

, located on the inside of the cart door.

Keep your face as far away from the grill surface as possible

and pass the match extender through the spaces in the grill

grates to the ports of the back crossover burner between the

flavor grids. Position the match near the burner ports and push

and turn the control knob counter clockwise to the “HIGH”

position. (See Fig. 22-23)

The match extender can be stored inside the cart door by

sliding the extender ring through the opening on the inside,

back of the cart door. (See Fig. 24-25)

GRILL LOCATION

Do not use the grill in garages, breezeways, sheds or any enclosed area. Never operate the grill in

enclosed areas as this could lead to a carbon monoxide buildup, which could result in injury or

death. Place the grill on a level surface. Avoid moving the grill while it is operation.

NOTE: The grill will operate best if it is not facing directly into the wind.

Clearance to combustible construction - A minimum of 12” from the sides and back must be maintained from the gas grill

above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible construction.

Clearance to non-combustible construction - A minimum of 6” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible

construction is required for the lid to fully open.

Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from

the appliance.

GENERAL RULES

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking!

1. Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly located.

2. Light the grill burners using the instructions provided in this manual.

3. Turn the control knobs to desired temperature “High, Medium, or Low” and preheat the grill for 10 minutes

before cooking.

4. Adjust heat settings to meet your cooking needs for desired results.

5. Allow grill to cool down, wipe off any splatters or grease and clean the drip tray as needed.

6. Do not put a cover on the grill while it is still hot as it could start a fire.

Using the Grill

Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from any heated

surfaces.

SIDE BURNER LIGHTING

Push and turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position and

mmediately press and hold the electronic igniter button.

Using the Side Burner

DRIP TRAY

The drip tray should be cleaned periodically to prevent heavy buildup of debris.

OTE: Allow the drip tray to cool before attempting to clean.

Important: Do not leave the grill outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect

inside of the grill, the grill cart or the drip tray if left uncovered. If the drip tray is not cleaned after use and the

grill is left uncovered, the drip tray will fill with water causing grease and water to spill into the grill cart. We

recommend cleaning and storing the drip tray after every use.

COOKING GRA

TES

The cooking grates can be cleaned immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the grill. Wear a barbecue

mitt and scrub the cooking grates with a damp cloth. If the grill is allowed to cool down, cleaning the grates will be easier

if removed from the grill and cleaned with a mild detergent.

STAINLESS STEEL

After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal.

Purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Specks of grease can gather

on the surface of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give a worn appearance. For removal, use an non-

abrasive oven cleaner in conjunction with a stainless cleaner.

NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

IGNITER ACCESS (UNDER SIDE BURNER SHELF):

To remove igniter, unscrew igniter push button and locking

nut from front panel of the side burner and igniter will fall out through the bottom

Care and Maintenance

GENERAL TROUBLE SHOOTING

You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately if any of the following conditions occur:

• The smell of gas.

• Flames appearing mostly yellow. (some yellow at the tips is OK)

• The grill will not get hot enough.

• Burners make a snapping noise.

• The grill heats unevenly.

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING

Spider and insects can nest in the burners of this or any other grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner.

This is very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill and

making it unsafe to operate. We recommend you check the grill and remove any spiders, insects and webs at least

once a year to reduce this risk.
